Grimms' Fairy Tales, The Juniper-tree, sentence 119

the mother shut her eyes and her ears, that she might see and hear nothing, but there was a roaring sound in her ears like that of a violent storm, and in her eyes a burning and flashing like lightning:

Who acts: mother, roaring sound · What happens: shut, see, hear, be, roar, burn · To what, where: eyes, nothing
